Just steps away from the Royal Mile and all the exciting tourist landmarks, as well as transit, shops and restaurant/bars. A little apartment with a lovely rooftop deck and kitchenette so we could enjoy some home made meals in between sight-seeing.
Convienent location with friendly staff and clean room

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff is really kind and helpful. To be a hostel, it's pretty clean, and they clean once per day. I like that you can cook your own meals. Guests respect everyone's own time, including being quiet in the room no matter the time of day. However, compared to the CoDe court, it is way smaller, has really bad storage for luggage, and needs a renovation/refreshment, and is therefore pretty pricey.
Penthouse private apartment was stunning lovely rooftop views over Edinburgh with a roof terrace where you could sit outside . Style and amenities in flat were great too . Would definitely recommend staying here
It was interesting to meet other travelers, the folks I encountered were considerate and friendly. Staff was extremely patient and helpful. Excellent location.
Stayed in a penthouse. Amazing for the money, great central location. The room was very big, with a balcony! Staff very friendly. However, water pressure in the shower wasn’t amazing, and the room wasn’t fully cleaned before our arrival (had some rubbish from previous guests.)
Very clean and welcoming. Surprisingly quiet given there are a number of bars and restaurants in the vicinity.
Good location with large retail shops near by and a short walk to the royal mile for tours and the castle.
Will definitely visit again.
This place was wonderfully located to make use of public transport, trains, and simply walk to anywhere in the city. The Standing Order, The Black Rose Tavern, and The Auld Hundred were staples in my stay, and they were a 5 second, 10 second, and 1 minute walk from the front door of The Loft. The only thing I would have liked would have been a fresh towel every few days.
This hostel has all amenities you would expect at a hostel. It was quiet to sleep in the "pods" and I appreciated the hot water! (as most travelers do). This location is close to attractions and is walkable to National Art Gallery, National Museum, and even up to Edinburgh Castle. The staff were excellent. A real plus that you can leave your luggage before you check in, as well as after you check out, so that you can benefit of a full day of your visit without dragging your stuff around.

Clean and as described
The hostels walls easily accessible by train and tram. Centrally located for all Edinburg attractions. Place was clean and everyone was respectful Only issue was pretty noisy at night due to being located right over a bar.
First hostel stay for me and everything was so easy, great app for keyless/cordless entry, pod was a great size for me (5ft 4”) with conveniently placed usb charging point. Very clean and well stocked bathroom and kitchen. Some noise from pub delivery/bottles being put out but not enough to bother me at all, very convenient location for airport link bus stops and all attractions. Thank you so much will recommend to everyone I know and would definitely stay here again!
The hostel is clean and comfortable. We did however have lots of noise from nearby building work from 6am onwards. Several guests in the shared dorm did not respect the hour quiet hours so unfortunately quite a broke night's sleep.
It was a Good Stay Pods. Carry your USB Type A Chargers as they Don't Have Type C or Plugs Near To Beds Or Pods. Apart from that kitchens and Utensils Were Clean. BED WAS CLEAN.Pleasant experience in terms of stays.
Was comfortable enough and I felt safe throughout my stay. The only « issue » would be that it would get quite warm in the pods so I had to open the curtain a bit, which gave me less intimacy. Very nice area - walking distance from every interesting attraction. Don’t bother paying for a tram pass. Would recommend!
Pleasant cleanliness that I was surprised by. Was expecting something shabbier but a it was really well maintained and kept clean.
Maybe only the shower room rug was abit of a put off but otherwise everything else was nice and clean.
Great place. V central - close to bars at night, and also to the airport bus link in the morning. Fantastic price (I got it for £20) too!! They have loads of things I didnt know about/ get to try cos I was literally there for 4 hours as a stop off for a few hours sleep before going on holiday - i will definitely make more use of the facilities next time!!
